Description There is no codal provision for limit design in India either for hot rolled sections or for cold formed sections. Recently, limit state design or LRFD assumes significance of saving in material due to the application of partial load and resistance factors. At present, only allowable stress design has been adopted as per Indian code. The present Indian code has to be upgraded with certain changes whether it adopts allowable stress design or LRFD on similar lines with American Iron and Steel Institute Code (AISI) or British Standard (BS). In this paper, an attempt is made to compare the strengths of compression members using LRFD by AISI and BS by varying yield strength, slenderness ratio, and shapes namely angle, angle with lips, etc. In each shape one section has been chosen having an average area of the sections listed in IS: 811–19874. The slenderness ratio is limited to 175. These results can be treated as a forerunner to adopt appropriate coefficients for the resistance of compression members
